To start, we will need completed applications for the new tenants plus the $45 application processing fee for each new potential tenant.

We process the applications once we have all the applications and fees. Generally we can get back to you within 24 hours regarding acceptance. We operate on a first come-first serve basis for available units.

Note: If applicant is coming from the dorms at UW they need only to contact arhfs@u.washington.edu See applications for Students Living in Dorm in FAQs.

If your applications are approved, we will email you a copy of the lease for your review. At lease signing we collect only a holding deposit (which is roughly equal to one months rent). The holding deposit converts to a refundable security deposit after move in and the completion of the property condition report done on the same day as move in.

Once the lease is signed and the deposit has been paid the unit is reserved for you until move in.
